The Press and Plagiarism.

The modern newspaper often success

were marble in their retention of what
they had read. Let man deliver an

to expose itS weakness and to discover

Death of q Giant.
A dispatch to the World from Chi.
cago dated Monday says;

A dispatch to the World from Chi
cago dated Monday says;
John Peters, a giant 7 feet inches
in height, died at the County Hospital
yesterday afternoon. He was only
tweuty-one years old He arrived in
Chicago last fall and appeared at a
museum a. "Tne Giant Polic-mar."
H. had contract with the museum
managers for three months, but was
taken Ill with typhoid YER, and Nov.
went to the hospital. There was
not bed big enough in the hospital
for the giant, but a wide one was
selected, the foot removed and wood
en- extension built, making Cot about
nine feet long.
Medicine was given him in doses
nearly double the usual siz- and every.
thing possible was done for him, but
the doctors were unable to conquer the
disease. To-day the physicians were
discussing the possibility OF securing
the giants body for scientific purposes,
and several of the medical men were
anxious to obtain the skeleton. The
body of the giant, who was Nor
wegian by birth, will be buried by
friends. There are few larger giants
than Peters was, but he was probably
the biggest man of his age in thii
country His beard had not begun t'
appear and he was steadily growing il
size.

Tuttle's Pension.

1t was a sad day for Brigadier Gen
eral James Madison Tuttle of Iowa
when that illustrious warrior raised
that row over the invitation of Presi.
dent Cleveland to visit St. Louis at the
time of the grand encampment of the
G. A. r. in that city. That
unfortunate procedure of his lost
him the respect of his soldier
comrades and he may lose his pension
through the bad eminence which it has
given him.
1t seems that some ore has notified
the pension Office at Washington that
General Tuttle secured his pension
through a misrepresentation OF facts.
The ground upon which the pension
was granted is that General Tuttle is
afflicted with hernia caused by his ex
erfions at the siege of Fort Donelson.
The information now laid before the
commissioner of pensions is TO the effect
that General Tuttle suffered from
hernia before he entered the army,
and that the injury never at any time
amounted to disability.
General Tuttles pension was granted
under the "arrears-of pension" act and
he drew some $4,000 as arrearage. The
commissioner of pensions ought not tc
be a respecter of persons and 1t is hi,
duty 70 inquire into the truth of the
allegation concerning the manner il
which the pension was obtained. L
he should find that 1t was secured by
false or fraudulent evidence he should
not hesitate to annul it and requir,
Generol Tuttle to make restitution

COFFEE,

Everybody likes a good cup
of coffee but how few there are
who get it; not over one-half the
coffee brought on the table is fit
to drink, and yet you go on and
drink it because you can't do
any better. Some one perhaps
asks you out to dinner and
serves a delicious cup of coffee,
and you inwardly think how
much you would give if you
could have such cup of coffee
at home you feel a little deli
cacy in asking the housewife
how she made it and go home
and drink your weak bitter mix
ture with the best grace you can.
And yet properly equipped, good
coffee is within the reach of every
one. We claim with our "One
Minute Coffee Pot" any child 8
years old can make as good a
cup of coffee as the most expert
enced cook, requires no fish skins
salt, egg etc. to clear it, it is
clear as wine every time and OF
a rich strong flavor. This is all
the space we can give to coffee,
the balance to explain we will
take pleasure in doing at our
store.

The Miners Hospital.
INVESTIGATING ALLEGED CRUEL TREAT
MENT OF PATIENT, RESULTING IN
DEATH.

PoTrsvILLE, Nov. 29.-The much
talked-of investigation of the Hospital
for Injured and Disabled Miners of the
Anthracite Region commenced in
Pottsville this afternoon, under the
supervision of the State Board OF
Charities and the Board of Trustees Of
the Hospital, of whom the following
were present.: Ex-Governor Henry M
Hoyt, chairman II. M. Bois, George
w. Starr and A. j Sawyer. The mem
bers of the Board of Trustees are
General Lilly, president; Pc er K
Buck, Ricnard Flynn, Thomas j Foster
Peter d. Helms, John Parker, Sr, Ed.
ward Reese, John Wagner, Alexander
Fulton.
In opening the case, Chairman Hoyl
said This meeting is called for The
purpose of investigating charges OF
cruelty and neglect of Saul Chilock, q
patient, while at the Miners Hospital.
Chilock received a fracture of the
thigh and comfy used wound of the back
on September 8, while working az Ex
celsior Colliery. He was taken to the
hospital, where he was trea,ed fol
some three weeks, and DR.. Bddle, the
surgeon in charge, then sent him away
because, it is said, he made 30 mucf
noise that other patients could not beal
it, He was taken to Shsmokin, where
he lay in the depot, and, it is alleged
was not fit subject to be sent from
the hospital. From there he was con
veyed to the Northumberland Coun ty
Poorhouse, where he died of bl ood
poisoning and paralysis of the spina
column.
Several doctors from Shamokin and
the Poor Directors of Northumberland
were examined, and nearly all agree
that Chillock was in an unfit condition
to be sent from the hospital. Chair
man Hoyt examined the witnesses TO
the State and Assistant District A,tor
ney Koch for DR.. Biddle. The inves
tigation will probably be concludes
tomorrow.

On the 26th inst. Mr.. Butler Keller
and Miss Emma Slime, both of Benton
were united in matrimony. All their
friends congratulate these happy
couples on their new relation. And
while the hymneial tide is rising, and
nuptials are 30 common, several other

waves but fear no breakers coming.
From the troubled sea of single bliss,
they view the matrimonial shore, to
which, with longing heart, their fragile
barks are borne. And before two more
fortnights, we may say they, too, are
married.

Jacob Sharp has been granted a new
trial by the Court of Appeals of New
York. U der the deci-i N OF the court
it is doubtful whether he can be con
victed again. An exchange says:
Jacob Sharp was witness before
the Legislative Investigating Commit
tee when he was still buoyed up by
confidence that his lifelong luck had
not deserted him and that the law had
no terrors for man of his wealth and
infiaence. Consequently he was more.
frank in telling of his Doodle transac
tlons than was strictly prudent. When
he found himself indicted and a pris-
oner arraigned at the oar of the Grim
inal Court he lost much of this conf
dence and was disposed no longer to
be communicative. His former testi-
mony was admitted in evidence against
HIM and wen, with a host of other
proofs TO establish his guilt to the sat-
i-faction of the jury. The Court of
Appeals now interposes and says that
it was not proper to make Sharp thus
convict himself, and all the fruits of a
long and expensive trial are brought to
naught.
The judgment of the court turns
upon the construction of the section of
the New York penal code which pro-
vides, in effect, that testimony given
in regard to bribes "upon any trial,
bearing, proceeding or Investigation
shall not be used in any prosecution
against the person so testifying. Judge
Barrett, the trial judge, held that this
was intended TO apply to judicial or
semi judicial inquiries, but not to legis-
lative committee investigations but
the higher court holds that these come
within the rule, so Sharp goes free.
Had he voluntarily told the committee
that ne had been buying and selling
New York Aldermen from his youth
up and given it the full particulars of
the Broadway purchase, and had this
testimony been published to all the
world, it could not under this decision
be used against him. No priestly con.
fession is half so sacred as the open
secrets told to New York legislative
investigating committee.
